I ALWAYS ask for a discount. There are 7 or 8 H-D dealers within 100 miles of here (I sign up for all their newsletters), and one of them is usually having a sale of 10%-15%-20% off P&A at one time or another for some promotion. So I ask the dealer I'm at to match it. The usual reply is "Do you want to go to that dealer to buy the part?" To which I say "Sure, its a nice ride anyway!" Works 95% of the time.

I don't buy from Chester's unless it either a small purchase or a last minute need. I don't believe in the way they do business. I purchase most of my Harley needs online at Surdyke or get the the rest of my parts at Bikers Inc. two miles away.

That's not just Chester's business model; that's all dealerships (Harley or otherwise) business model it seems. Hampton Road Harley does at least offer some good prices and discounts to our members here.

fwiw, I bought my '13 Street Bob from Chester's after looking at a pre-owned SB they had in inventory that would have actually cost more.
They have been fair to me, so no complaints.
Jody in Service is a great person to deal with.

They are no different in their "asking price" than any other dealer. Every now and then there will be a customer who will go for it, but anyone with half a brain knows that a counter offer is the next step. FWIW, there is a $5200 mark up on a Limited, plus holdback and factory to dealer incentives.
